stranger - t. karras lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m a stranger in a strange land
trying to understand how to adapt
whether people will like me and all that cr-p
why do i worry? cause i’m strange, it’s not an act
i could let my white privilege dominate what i say
but i did that sh-t in compton and they threw me away
so now i’m aware of every single thing about me
the downsides, the deficits, i’ll never be free
they keep critiquing the way i dress
and the words i say, it adds up to stress
which adds up to me f-cking everything up
now i’m dumb out of luck, what am i to do?
got me questioning why i’m attracted to danger
when that leads me towards a path of anger
i can’t stop apparently because i’m still rappin’
poetry and flow but still i’m lackin’ with the social sk!lls

[chorus]
i’m a stranger, always be a stranger
always getting in constant danger
never getting a chance to breathe or succeed
it’s just me, and i wish i could change it
i’m a stranger, always be a stranger
always getting in constant danger
never getting a chance to breathe or succeed
it’s just me, and i wish i could change it

[verse 2]
i don’t know how to act so of course i act brash
i act this way until i get into a car crash
and come out alive, but the pain’s still inside
how do i get it out? why do i have to hide?
who i really am, pretend i’m someone i’m not
cause if every rapper did it then hey, why not?
but it doesn’t work for me because my skin is white
and they know i’m faking it because i ain’t tight
i ain’t live the life of an impoverished man
i was spoiled god d-mn and i’m not proud of it man
all the things i missed out on because i wasn’t normal
makes me wish that my life had been more formal
discipline was what my -ss needed in order to get better
but never, ever, ever did i experience that
instead i get yelled at as if i know facts
but i don’t know jack, i don’t have the answers

[verse 3]
i’ll always be strange, until the end of time
spitting line for line trying to make up for the deficit
but i’m complicit because i’ve been lying to myself
i’m like a drug addict here, baby i need help
how else am i supposed to make my life great?
cause ignorance obviously equates to hate
and by ignoring my flaws, by definition i’m f-cked up
corrupt like a hard drive, can’t even recognize
who i am in the mirror because it’s broken to pieces
i look deep into my soul and i see my own thesis
i’m like the worst parts of my mom and dad combined
and that takes a toll on the mind, can’t press rewind
to better times because i never really had them
i’m always mad and obsessive but that’s just me
not defending anything, i wish it’d go away
but i chose the hardest difficulty that i cannot change so screw me

[outro]
will t. karras ever escape his strangeness
will t. karras ever find acceptance?
find out on the next episode of
stranger
